powering the city : fuel cells for large and s

Powering the City : Fuel Cells for large and small distributed generation

Nov 28, 2013 - Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation, High School Yards, Edinburgh, EH1 1LT

Our next SHFCA member meeting will be on the afternoon of Thursday 28th November. This is on the topic of stationary power, and is being held at the newly refurbished Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation building in central Edinburgh (see http://www.edinburghcentre.org/our-new-building.html for details). This venue is about 10 minutes walk from Waverley Station, at High School Yards, Edinburgh EH1 1LT.

We are delighted to announce a strong line-up of speakers for this event, including presentations from companies based in Germany, Denmark, and Finland. This will offer you a wider perspective on the uptake of energy efficient fuel cells throughout Europe.

This ‘Powering the City’ meeting is about the use of fuel cells in stationary power applications, both at large and small scale, updated from the practical deployment of these systems and the resulting benefits.

The use of fuel cells for large scale stationary heat & power applications is seeing an increasing level of uptake, with several recent projects at prestige developments in Central London such as Quadrant 3 on Regent Street and the iconic ‘Walkie-Talkie’ building at 20 Fenchurch Street. The use of large scale fuel cell CHP offer significant reductions in the overall carbon footprint of a building, as well as reductions in operating costs. Similar benefits are also being reported for deployments of small scale fuel cells, with the added incentives of feed-in tariff support for the 1.5kW BlueGen, the UK’s first MCS approved fuel cell system from Ceramic Fuel Cells.

The agenda for the meeting is :

13:00 – 13:30 Registration & Networking
